Peak Linux driver installation error on Ubuntu 20.04

[vince_headache]

Hello!

New to the PEAK/PCAN ecosystem. Following the instructions for driver installation found in the Documentation file posted here: https://www.peak-system.com/fileadmin/m ... roproetary
I have gotten to section 3.2, Install package, and have hit the following error:

Code: Select all

(base) vince@user-xps:~/peak-linux-driver-8.20.0$ sudo make install

make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/vince/peak-linux-driver-8.20.0/driver'
make: *** [Makefile:98: install] Error 2

Does anyone know how to deal with this error? I really appreciate any help!

Hi,

please do the following steps:

make clean
make
sudo make install
cat /proc/pcan

and send us the output of all commands to see if there are any problems.

regards

Michael

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your response! I have posted the full output at the bottom of this message.

Looks to me like "make clean" runs ok, and "make" is where the problems start:

Code: Select all

 
 src/pcan-settings.c:47:10: fatal error: popt.h: No such file or directory
   47 | #include <popt.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [Makefile:196: pcan-settings] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/vince/peak-linux-driver-8.20.0/test'
make: *** [Makefile:84: all] Error 2

I'm not sure where popt.h is supposed to come from, or why I don't have it. Perhaps the other errors are downstream of this. I went ahead and ran all commands after the error, in case there's more useful information. Really appreciate your help.

Here's the full output:

[vince_headache]

Update--- I used "sudo apt-get install libpopt-dev" to install popt. Now "make" and "sudo make install" run without errors, but "cat /proc/pcan" givest the error

Code: Select all

 /proc/pcan: No such file or directory 

Do I need to manually add a /proc/pcan directory?

[G.Lang]

Please load the driver with "sudo modprobe pcan" or reboot your PC so that the driver will be loaded automatically.
